Definition
Programs that utilize computer technology and telecommunications equipment to connect medical specialists with health care providers and their patients who live in rural areas or in other settings where advanced medical care is unavailable. Telemedicine brings medical consultations, follow-up care and educational services directly to rural physicians and hospitals or other participating health care institutions, enabling patients and their families to receive the best available health care without having to leave their communities.
